0804.50.60.65 - Mangosteens

This HTS subcategory specifically covers mangosteens that are imported fresh. Mangosteens are tropical fruits characterized by their deep purple rind and white, segmented flesh, prized for their sweet and slightly tart flavor. This classification applies to the whole fruit in its natural, unprocessed state, intended for consumption.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, it is important to note that "Mangoes" at this level refers to the separate classification for mangoes, which are botanically distinct from mangosteens. The "Other" subcategory would likely encompass any fresh guavas or other fruits within the 0804.50 grouping that are not specifically classified elsewhere at this level. Therefore, this category is solely dedicated to fresh mangosteens.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 0804.50.60.65 is definitive for fresh mangosteens. Importers should ensure that the goods accurately meet the definition of fresh mangosteens and are not dried, preserved, or otherwise processed, as such treatments would necessitate classification under a different HTS code.
